the questionWhat do Canadian records establish about Vonban Ltd.?
1Corporate identity and control
analysisThe Canadian business is Vonban Ltd., federal corporation 1478180-5, incorporated on 20 February 2023. The retained corporate profile lists it as active and identifies Kyrylo Bykov and Paul Rusan as directors. Its company-specific filing table marks the 2024, 2025 and 2026 annual filings as filed and gives 24 February 2026 as the last annual-meeting date. The Canadian company is a separate legal person from Vonban Swiss AG. The filing table is evidence of the stated filings, not a certificate of comprehensive legal compliance or a financial audit. No completed dissolution is established by this profile. 1
analysisThe Canadian profile names two current individuals with significant control, last updated or confirmed on 24 February 2026. Sevak Hawarian is recorded from 20 February 2023 and Pavlo Shevchenko from 10 July 2024. Each is described as individually holding, controlling or directing at least 25% and up to 50% of shares indirectly. The register gives percentage bands and indirect interests, not exact share counts or the intermediate ownership chain. These Canadian disclosures do not establish direct personal ownership of the Swiss company. Residential and service-address details are unnecessary to explain the control record. 1
analysisA retained LEI directory identifies Vonban Ltd. by LEI 254900EOQBQ5F1AEH658, matching federal corporation 1478180-5. It reports natural-person exceptions for both direct and ultimate parent reporting. A separate payment-code directory lists VONBCA82XXX for the Canadian company. The parent-reporting exception does not identify the intermediate legal chain or replace the Canadian control register. A payment-routing identifier is not a banking licence, an endorsement or proof of a particular correspondent-bank relationship. 2 3
2Registration and company wording
analysisThe retained FINTRAC registry lists Vonban Ltd., matching corporation 1478180-5, as registered under M23259006 for foreign exchange, money transfers and virtual currency. It gives an initial registration date of 9 May 2023 and an expiry date of 8 December 2027. FINTRAC explains that registration does not mean that it endorses or licenses a business, and that it does not issue licences or registration certificates. This is the retained registration status at the archive cutoff. It does not confer a bank licence, establish access to every foreign market, or guarantee that all transactions comply with applicable law. 4 5
analysisThe Canadian website describes its status as fully licensed and authorised by FINTRAC and says that it has no authorisation beyond Canada. The official registry’s explanation is narrower: the company is an MSB registrant, while FINTRAC expressly disclaims licensing or endorsement. Readers should use that official distinction when assessing the website’s wording. The discrepancy in terminology is not presented as a court finding of fraud or an enforcement decision. The retained material does not establish an adjudication of the wording. The company’s own disclaimer limits its claimed territorial status to Canadian law and says users approach it on their own initiative. 4 5 6
3Shared brand, separate corporations
analysisThe Swiss and Canadian websites both use the VONBAN brand. The Canadian privacy notice says data may be processed in the EU, United Kingdom or Switzerland, where Vonban or its providers operate. The statement establishes brand and operational context, not which Swiss entity receives particular data or which company legally owns the other. The two registrations are kept separate. 7 6 8
